Fraiser pointed out in his post that Lutheranism lacks a catchy mnemonic like the Calvinists’ TULIP to summarise these essentials, and that it would be appropriate if someone could come up with a ROSES mnemonic for Lutheranism. A Finnish Lutheran, Hannu, took up the challenge in the comments to Fraiser’s post, as follows:

If you don’t see fubar catching on as a mnemonic among Lutherans, you don’t roll with the same Lutherans I do. I’m not sure if it is a good or bad thing, but I see a T. shirt coming soon.
I had a fubar shirt once, but nothing as good as this Mnemonic.
